ICodeCompletionRequestor requestor)
                  throws 
JavaModelException
Deprecated. Use codeComplete(int, ICompletionRequestor) instead.

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

Parameters:
offset - the given offset position
requestor - the given completion requestor
Throws:
JavaModelException - if code assist could not be performed. Reasons include:
  • This Java element does not exist (ELEMENT_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
  • The position specified is < -1 or is greater than this compilation unit's source length (INDEX_OUT_OF_BOUNDS)
IllegalArgumentException - if requestor is null

IProgressMonitor monitor)
                  throws 
JavaModelException
Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

If IProgressMonitor is not null then some proposals which can be very long to compute are proposed. To avoid that the code assist operation take too much time a IProgressMonitor which automatically cancel the code assist operation when a specified amount of time is reached could be used. 

 new IProgressMonitor() {
     private final static int TIMEOUT = 500; //ms
     private long endTime;
     public void beginTask(String name, int totalWork) {
         fEndTime= System.currentTimeMillis() + TIMEOUT;
     }
     public boolean isCanceled() {
         return endTime <= System.currentTimeMillis();
     }
     ...
 };

Parameters:
offset - the given offset position
requestor - the given completion requestor
monitor - the progress monitor used to report progress
Throws:

                  throws 
JavaModelException
Deprecated. Use codeComplete(int, CompletionRequestor, WorkingCopyOwner) instead.

Performs code completion at the given offset position in this compilation unit, reporting results to the given completion requestor. The offset is the 0-based index of the character, after which code assist is desired. An offset of -1 indicates to code assist at the beginning of this compilation unit.

Note that if a working copy is empty, it will be as if the original compilation unit had been deleted.

Parameters:
offset - the given offset position
requestor - the given completion requestor
owner - the owner of working copies that take precedence over their original compilation units
Throws:
